The ever amazing Andrew Nicholson is now on the banks of the Black sea. His ride through turkey has not been as smooth as any of us hoped - literally and figuratively! Potholes, roadworks and infamous Turkish dogs have been joined by the worst bombings Turkey has seen in decades.

There was also a few days of frantic work by Andrew's helpers in NZ at the news that he may not be able to get the correct visa for India... all sorted now though - phew!

Huge thanks to all those who have helped keep Andrew on the road. Your words of encouragement have helped keep spirits (and thus KMs per day up).
